Relationship between Anorectal Pressure and Pelvic Floor Muscle Tension in Patients with Pelvic Floor Organ Prolapse Accompanied by Outlet Obstruction

Abstract: Objective: To investigate the value of anorectal manometry, combined with measuring pelvic floor muscle tension, to assess the anorectal dynamics of patients with pelvic floor organ prolapse accompanied by outlet obstruction. Methods: 30 patients with pelvic floor organ prolapse and 30 healthy volunteers were included in the observation group. The relationships between anorectal pressure and pelvic floor muscle tension, the patients’ subjective and objective symptoms, and posterior vaginal wall prolapse were a… Show more

“…It is true that the diagnosis of rectocele is difficult because there is no standard of the interpretation. Moreover, symptom correlation is also difficult in rectocele that functional imaging and manometry are needed for precise diagnosis [28]. DCP is also useful in detecting rectal intussusception not diagnosed by physical examination [14].…”
